gh-118974: Add decorator argument to make_dataclass (gh-122723)

This is to allow the `dataclasses.make_dataclass` infrastructure to be used with another decorator that's compliant with `typing.dataclass_transform`. The new `decorator` argument to `dataclasses.make_dataclass` is `dataclasses.dataclass`, which used to be hard coded.
